Aerosmith song on a Buick commercial-MAN! they sold out!

[underpants]

I've seen it all now. You'd think that those guys would be the last to sell out....AEROSMITH!!

The others I could see but Aerosmith???


Okay Sarcasm off-Have you noticed that Steve Earle's "The Revolution Starts Now" on NFL commercials and TV ads? I'm not accusing him of selling out (a man's gotta eat) but damn that was quick. I wonder if any NFL Joe six-pack fans search that song out and discover what it is really about.

(The Stones, by the way, have gone on to waste the lovely "You Can't Always Get What you Want" on Coke's obnoxious C2 cola campaign and "Jumpin' Jack Flash" for the new Chevy Corvette. Apparently, Mick wants to have more money than God).

The list is truly endless. Sinatra (Visa) to Tom Petty (ESPN), the Clash (Pontiac, Jaguar) to Screamin' Jay Hawkins (Levi's), Queen (Coke) to Earth, Wind and Fire (the Gap), Paul Oakenfold (Volvo) to Celine Dion (Chrysler), Ted Nugent (Cingular), Stevie Wonder (Red Lobster), Lou Reed (Amex), Bob Dylan (Victoria's Secret), Andrew W.K. (Expedia, Coors Light) to the Shins (McDonald's). It goes on. And on. And on.

(My favorite bizarrely ironic musical-bedfellow example has to be that nastygood grunge tune "Awake," by heavily tattooed and happily pierced pagan nü-metal dudes Godsmack, now used in recruitment ads for the U.S. Navy. Ah yes. Kill me now).
